New Review Needs new ownership or someone to lead the place better. Once they lost chef keys the place went from 5 star to 3 just like that. Old review before changes: Chef Keys is amazing he definitely made this place better from the first time I tried it. Don't let the atmosphere rating fool you it is a nice cozy place beachside. The food and service are hands down some of the best you can get in the area. I'm from Maryland so I'm particularl about my crab cakes. While not an exact rendition it was a Maryland style crab that and only know of one other place with a good crab cake around here in Melbourne/ Melbourne Beach area. The sticky duck wings were tasty, crispy and sticky good. Lasagna Pizza was amazing with a fresh crust and all the makings of a nice lasagna one of my favorite meals. I think the sandwich was called a Which came first? Being there is egg and chicken on it was nice and tender with a huge egg yolk that you can see in the video popped and drizzled nicely on the plate so I could dip it in rightfully so. The ownership kills this restaurant though. He doesn't know it but he was rude to me and also my wife. I spent well over $300 there and he still had the audacity to be rude.

I had dinner here for my birthday while travelling for work. While the food was really good, I just personally feel it was a little over-priced. I've never been one to complain about prices, you get what you pay for, I just don't feel like the advertised 16oz Ribeye that was wet aged for 21 days was actually 16oz or wet aged for more than a couple of days tops, and if I'm paying $50 for a steak, I need it to knock me on my butt, and this one just didn't do that. To top it all off, a couple of the guys I was eating with mentioned that it was my birthday to the server, and joked about bring me a birthday hat. After we ate, the server brought me a giant piece of cake with a candle and the whole restaurant sang Happy birthday to me! How nice, right?! Well when I got my check, they charged me $9 for the slice of cake that I or anyone I was with never asked for. It was just a little weird. The place had a great atomosphere, good selection of beers and wine, but if I go again, I'll probably opt for a cheaper menu item like one of their burgers or even the 302 Filet. 2 of the guys I was with got them and they both looked delicious for $20-$30 less.

Found this farm to table establishment on Yelp thanks to all the people who contribute so my partner and I can eat well on vacation. Hidden in a strip mall, Ocean 302 is a gem located in Melbourne Beach. We came for dinner last night and were surprised at how big the restaurant was full of patrons which reservation is highly recommended. The menu has fresh, local, and interesting choices from small bites to full dinner entrée options. We began with Spinach & Artichoke Boule (Fire Roasted Artichoke, Baby Spinach, Mascarpone, Parmesan, Herbed Feta, Sourdough Boule Loaf) as an appetizer. For our entrees, we got Skirt Steak (Char-Grilled, Marinated, Yuca Fries, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Cherry Tomato Chimichurri and the Airline Chicken Breast (Pan-Seared, Crispy Skin-On, Buttery Mashed Potatoes, Chefs Vegetables, Lemon Pan Sauce). All our meals were delicious and cooked to perfection. Our server was Charles and did an outstanding job serving our table. Ambiance was comfortable. Prices were reasonable given the freshness and quality of food. We can recommend this place.

I hosted a business dinner at Oceans 302 and everyone agreed it was a great dinner. I sure was Jamie and she was attentive but not intrusive throughout the meal. Service was excellent. The chef visited us before we ordered to tell us about some special off menu items. He was engaging and it was really cool to hear his take on what got him excited. We didn't have any appetizers but two of us ordered the shrimp bisque soup. This was a cream-based soup. The flavors were pretty good but it was a little bland and a little thinner than how I normally think of a bisque. There wasn't a ton of meat in the soup either. It was okay but not great. I had the fish and chips which came with several made in-house sauces. Everything was good but, to be honest, it's really hard to put a twist and elevate such a simple meal. It was just okay. The people at the table who had the scallops entree loved them and said they would absolutely order those again. Overall this was a really good meal and the atmosphere was great.

Hands down the best culinary experience I’ve had in Melbourne. First the ambiance is modern yet warm and the staff is attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Ive been twice in a week. Both times we got the harvest Brie for an appetizer (it is that good). We also had the swine & wine, mainely scallops, seafood heaven pizza, truffle love pizza, the 302 LTO burger and a beet salad that was on the Valentine’s Day menu. I honestly cannot say anything negative about any of the meals. They were each incredibly tasty, the flavors and seasonings were inspired and the quality of the ingredients were top notched. I could go into how each dish was way more interesting than the name, but I ask that you pull up the menu online to get an idea of the creativity placed on making each dish unlike those in other restaurants. My personal faves were the Harvest Brie (appetizer) and the Truffle love pizza, but again, I enjoyed them all. Oh, great beer selection as well :-) I highly recommend this place.

We got a bad server. He dropped off water and was gone for 10 minutes or so. Not sure where he went but I saw him come back in the front door. He didn’t offer up the happy hour specials that we heard the nearby waitress discussing so we had to ask. He reluctantly shared them. When we finally could order, the food was brought out in reasonable time. The pizza was good. Better than Oceanside Pizza next door? Nah. But it was good. The burger was cooked to medium as requested but the burger was so burnt and charred in some areas, it was inedible. The lack of quality control when plating is a shame. Nobody should have sent a burger out looking like that. We didn’t bring it up. We didn’t want to have the conversation with the waiter. We just paid, overtipped and left. We won’t be back. If they can’t catch a burnt burger from going out, we don’t want to try some of the more expensive options.
